Fantasies of Genocide
An essay on Jack London’s "The Unparalleled Invasion"“Perhaps I might be accused of a lack of neutrality in my synopsis, but Jack London’s The Unparalleled Invasion is no work of science fiction. It is a work of speculative genocide. It is a written psychodrama in which our protagonist self-soothes his racist anxieties by inserting himself (as the fictive scientist Jacobus Laningdale, in case the subtlety was lost on you) as the lynchpin whose ingenuity kills every single remaining Chinese person on the planet.”
